Republic Wasps & Hornets
One Type of wasp found in the Republic, Mo area is the Bald Faced Hornet. Their aggressive defensive nature makes them a threat to humans who wander too close to a wasp nest or when a hornet nest is constructed too close to human habitation. They vigorously defend the nest, with workers stinging repeatedly, as is common among hornets and wasps. However, the bald faced hornet has a unique defense in that it can squirt or spray venom from the stinger into the eyes of intruders. The venom causes immediate watering of the eyes and temporary blindness.
Yellow Jackets In Republic
We get a lot of calls from concerned homeowners in Republic Missouri about yellow jacket wasps. Yellowjackets build nests in trees, shrubs, or in protected places such as inside man-made structures like sheds, or in soil cavities, tree stumps, mouse burrows, etc. They build them from wood fiber they chew into a paper-like pulp. Yellow jacket wasps, like hornets have lance-like stingers with small barbs, and typically sting repeatedly; the venom, like most hornet, bee and wasp venoms, is primarily dangerous to only those humans who are allergic or are stung many times.
